Mind Your P’s! (Pretty Pink Pyrex)

I’m pretty sure that when mama said, “Mind your P’s and Q’s, that she meant:

PRETTY PINK PYREX fit for a QUEEN!

Mama, up in heaven this baby, (did I ever mention that I was the baby of 8 children); is doing her best!

Cute pink striped ones.

As well as Pink and white Ivy leaves.

Now the last thing this girl needed was more pink bowls. Crimenently, I only put them out for Spring. Oh sure, I’ll use them at a party now and then, but the color really doesn’t go with my kitchen. Apparently crimenently is not a word, I got the underline thing. Sure is in my vocabulary.

Who am I to not mind my mama?

Don’t they make you anxious for Spring?

I’ll tell you what, I sure am anxious! Can’t wait to get my hands into that dirt. Been so busy with the living room that I’ve hardly had a chance.

Spring officially starts on March 20th. So I would like to kick it off with a little give away. Not a lot, just a little something my friend, Beth whipped up.

This cute cupcake pincushion. Isn’t it sweet? Now if that doesn’t look like Spring! Love that big flower on top. Reminds me of those babies you see with flowers as big as their head. Gotta love it!

I will leave it open until the first day of Spring, March 20th.

Good luck and don’t forget to mind your P’s! (and Q’s) What exactly are P’s and Q’s anyway?

Hi Jann,Oh, how lovely are those P's & Q's!The pyrex is so beautuful and looks to be in perfect shape. Just gorgeous! I always thought, when it was said to mind your p's & q's that it meant your Please and Thank yous...good old fashioned manners & respect.Your pink pyrex is just so pretty!Have a great weekend!All the Best,Christine

That is a cute pin cushion! I know the word you used and I used it, too. As far as P's and Q's...I looked it up, and it was so memorable that I FORGOT what it means! How's that for an answer? Need to get busy so have a great time these next few days. We are supposed to have really nice temperatures for about 5 days!♥♫

I love pyrex dishes,and how charming is this particular shade of pink... looks sooo pretty on that crystal stand! The pincushion is too darn cute:)... lovely spring colors! Thanks for the chance to win and for your visit. Always a pleasure to have you over. Have a wonderful weekend!~Poppy

I had never seen pink Pyrex until several people have been showing it online lately. My Mom still has a Pyrex bowl she got when she was married, but it is just a not so attractive yellow color. We keep it in the kitchen just for the sake a memories, but it's one we don't use.

I love, love Pyrex, but I REALLY LOVE your pink Pyrex. So beautiful and elegant. These pieces would grace any kitchen. I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well on my blog at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com Hugs, Gayle.
